Customer Success Manager

Our mission is to make meaningful learning a part of your everyday life. The shelf life of our skills is now less than 5 years. So, if you stopped learning today, your skills would soon become irrelevant. Think that's a big problem? You'd be right.

Enter HowNow. Founded in 2019, our Learning and Skills Platform is disrupting the way people learn and upskill through technology. Whether it's finding a quick answer, learning new skills, or tapping into shared knowledge, we make it easy for people to learn what they need, when they need it.

Already used by fast-growing scale-ups and global enterprises such as Trainline, Depop, and TomTom, we're pushing the boundaries of how people learn.
